Me and my ex broke up a month or so ago, It still feels strange replacing the word 'boyfriend' with 'ex', but a lot of the people around me have been telling me to 'forget' about him, or move on, or whatever else, my own family has been saying bad things about him to me, expecting me not to love him still.
And honestly, I don't even know if I can stop loving him? Maybe it'll take time like how people say, but I don't think I can even convince myself that I want to?
He's completely out of my life, no way to contact him, nothing. And asked for me to not speak to him again, in which im trying to respect that decision. But he was one of the most important people to me, and even after hearing that he spoke badly of me when we were together, I still find myself thinking about him every second of every day: "How is he? Does he still think of me? Does he care?" All of that stuff.
It's strange to say the least.
I don't know if the question I mean is "is it okay to not forget about your ex?" or rather "how do you forget about them/is it wrong not to?"
And don't get me wrong, I've tried. I've busied myself with anything I could this past month so as not to think about him, but it's just not working whatsoever.
He was the first person I've ever been in a relationship with, and was hoping he'd be the only person, so I don't nessecarily know anything about how to get over a break up.
So if anyone could just give me some advice, or tell me what to do/how to stop thinking about him that'd really help.
